Definition of genocide in English English dictionary

The systematic killing of substantial numbers of people on the basis of ethnicity, religion, political opinion, social status, or other particularity

Acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group

Genocide is the deliberate murder of a whole community or race. They have alleged that acts of genocide and torture were carried out. the deliberate murder of a whole group or race of people ethnic cleansing (genos + -cide). Deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, religious, political, or ethnic group. The term was coined by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-born jurist who served as an adviser to the U.S. Department of War during World War II, to describe the premeditated effort to destroy a population (see Holocaust). In 1946 the UN General Assembly declared genocide a punishable crime. By this declaration, genocide by definition may be committed by an individual, group, or government, against one's own people or another, in peacetime or in wartime. This last point distinguishes genocide from "crimes against humanity," whose legal definition specifies wartime. Suspects may be tried by a court in the country where the act was committed or by an international court (see International Criminal Court). An example of genocide more recent than the Holocaust is the slaughter of Tutsi people by the Hutu in Rwanda in the 1990s
